Along with David Card, Mankiw was elected vice president of the American Economic Association. [79] Mankiw's most widely-cited paper is "A Contribution to the Empirics of Economic Growth," which was coauthored with David Romer and David Weil and published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics in 1992. The paper argues that the Solow growth model, once augmented to include a role for human capital, explains reasonably well international differences in standards of living.

Bush administration effort seeking greater oversight of two government-sponsored enterprises: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In a November 2003 speech to a conference of bank supervisors, [41] he said:

Mr. Mankiw has produced something long overdue: an accessible introduction to modern economics. By writing more in the style of a magazine than a stodgy textbook and explaining even complex ideas in an intuitive, concise way, he will leave few students bored or bewildered.... Most refreshing, though, is the book's even-handedness. Mr Mankiw seems to revel in setting out how different schools of thought have contributed to economists' current state of knowledge. In August 2016, Mankiw expressed opposition to the election of Donald Trump to the presidency. [64] On his blog, he wrote: [65] New Mexico Tech News". New Mexico Tech. June 17, 2004.
